"It's true that there is something wrong. The president of the association will hold a meeting later, and you two little fellows have been named to attend." Matsuda said to Aoki and Steven.
Both Aoki and Steven were a little surprised.
But it's not unacceptable. As the younger generation of the Hoenn League, they are still somewhat qualified, and Steven is eligible to participate.
Although the strength of the two is now weaker than that of Steven in the future, they are actually about the same in status.
Aoki reckoned that this meeting was still about the Sinnoh competition.
Soon, a special person came to inform Matsuda that he had a meeting with Mr. Stone, and then the person took a look at Aoki and Steven, and after confirming that they were also participating in the meeting, he took them to the conference hall inside the building.
It was the first time for Aoki to come to this place, and it felt like he had come into contact with the high-level members of the Hoenn League.
People kept coming in one after another, and Aoki and Steven were taken to sit in their designated positions. On the edge of the conference room, there was a row of chairs leaning against the wall, like the auditors of the conference personnel.
And Matsuda and Stone sat at the conference table.
By looking at where everyone sits, you can tell where someone is in the league.
For example, Steven's father, the patriarch of the Stone family, and the chairman of the Devon Corporation, sits in the first position on the left-hand side of the chief seat, so his status in the league goes without saying. Apart from the chairman Adams, the person with the highest position is Stone.
And Aoki's teacher, Matsuda, sat in the third position on the right-hand side of the main seat. If counted according to the normal situation, Matsuda should be ranked seventh in the league.
In fact, there are many people of the older generation in the league, where is their status, but they don't participate in this kind of meeting very much anymore, more people let the people below listen to it, and then go back and tell them the result.
Don't underestimate these people. It can be said that these talents can really determine the development direction of the Hoenn region.
The conference room here is jokingly called the outer chamber, and there is also an inner chamber that is deeper in the league. There are some old veterans in it, and their decisions are often the most important. Among these people present, except for Chief Adams, only Stone has the right to participate in internal discussions.
Of course, there are also people from the two major families of Jenny and Stone, but they are not the patriarchs of the two major families in the Hoenn region who are currently sitting.
Slowly, the number of people on the seats gradually increased.
More and more people came in.
There are still a few seats beside Aoki and Steven, so they must be the same people as them.
Not long after, Aoki saw an acquaintance.
A dark-skinned girl, the girl Aoki met on the Mount Pyre, Hoenn's future Ghost-type Elite Four member, Phoebe.
She poked her head out, looked into the conference room, saw Aoki, then her eyes lit up and she sat directly next to Aoki.
"Aoki! Long time no see." Phoebe said with a smile.
Aoki was also a little surprised, but thinking about the fact that there might be a row of young people from the Hoenn region sitting here, it is quite clear.
He smiled and said, "Yeah, long time no see, Phoebe."
Then Aoki introduced Steven and Phoebe to each other, but not long after, Aoki saw another acquaintance.
When Aoki was running the Water-type gym in Verdanturf Town before, the league sent a person who went through a cutscene to examine Aoki, Wallace!
To Aoki's surprise, Wallace and Steven don't seem to know each other yet?
Wallace greeted Aoki with a smile, then nodded to Steven and Phoebe, and then sat in a side seat.
He also had a relationship with Aoki once, and Steven only saw it a few times on TV and newspapers, as for Phoebe, he had never heard of her.
Originally Wallace and Steven would become the two most powerful people in the Hoenn region in this conference, and then the two would get to know each other through this conference. Finally, when Steven was about to step down as the champion, he gave up this opportunity to his good friend Wallace, of course, Wallace also has enough strength.
But now because of Aoki's relationship, the two most famous people in Hoenn have become Aoki and Steven. Although Wallace is also very strong, his reputation is not very obvious, and he has recently turned his mind to the very gorgeous contests, the fun of battling Pokemon is not as attractive to him as the very elegant contests.
So, maybe in the end, Wallace will still be Hoenn's top coordinator trainer, but it's not certain whether he can be the champion of the Hoenn region together.
Originally, the league was to win over Hoenn's local contest organization, but now the Breeder's Guild is also involved, so the final situation is beyond Aoki's guess.
After Wallace arrived, several more people came in one after another.
Among them, Aoki knew Roxanne, the owner of the Rustboro Gym. After she greeted Aoki and Steven, she sat beside her cousin Steven.
There is also Gardenia, the next Gym Leader of Eterna City, and Aoki has also fought against her.
Aoki had never seen the one or two people in the back, and they didn't have any influence on them. After a few people simply nodded and said hello, they sat in their seats.
When all the seats were filled, Chairman Adams took a step slowly and walked into the meeting room.
Sitting on his main seat, he announced the start of the meeting.
The Elite Four don't often participate in this kind of meeting, and even if they do, they just sit on the sidelines and listen at most.
Of course, with the strength and status of the Elite Four, they can participate in the meeting and have a great influence on the meeting. It's just that the Elite Four in the Hoenn region are not very keen on power.
And this meeting, the Elite Four passed the video as a bystander.
Aoki saw Drake, the familiar Dragon-type Elite Four member, and knew that he should still be on his boat from the background of the video.
At present, the Elite Four in the Hoenn region are the Dragon-type Elite Four member Drake, the Ice-type Elite Four member Glacia, the Dark-type Elite Four member Sidney, and the Electric-type Elite Four member Wattson.
That's right, the owner of the Mauville Gym in Mauville City, the happy old man Wattson, now holds the position of the Electric-type Elite Four member, and also serves as the Gym Leader.
With Wattson's personality, he doesn't like to take the position of Elite Four member, but there is no way, who made him an old man in the Hoenn region.
The seniority of the older generation can convince the public, even if his strength is a little bit weaker, but as an experienced veteran, there is still no big problem.
However, he should resign soon, because the league has taken a fancy to Norman, who is currently the owner of the Petalburg Gym. Norman is strong enough, but he is a little younger, but as long as Wattson persists for a year or two, at that time, with the strength of Norman, he will be able to successfully take over.
As for whether Norman would like to be in the Elite Four, the league has not asked him, but the league has this intention.
After all, these are the Elite Four, who wouldn't want to be in charge?
As for the championship position in the Hoenn region, the goal is to be temporarily held by Adams, the chairman of the league.
That's why Adams has the right to say so in the Hoenn region, because he has enough strength!
This is the current high-level structure of the Hoenn League.
